▼Setting up tape replication for multiple tapes

1.Before continuing, make sure that you have write access to both the primary (local) and target (remote) VTL servers and that there is enough space available on the target for the replica resources you intend to create.

2.In the object tree of the VTL console, expand the VTL server node.

3.Under the VTL server, expand the Virtual Tape Library System and

Virtual Tape Libraries nodes.

4.Under the Virtual Tape Libraries node, right‐click on the virtual tape library for which you want to enable replication (A below).

5.From the context menus, select Replication (B below), Add (C).
